  • Yes, the depravity of man has never been good enough to trust. Colossians 1:20 "And, having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in Earth, or things in Heaven."

      God in his word saves man by grace that calls him,, it does not teach we are depraved.
    • Cry me a River
      The goodness of God leads those who believe his word to repentance. Depravity takes away from truth. Making sinners hopeless,, Romans 2:4

      Quote: "God in his word saves man by grace that calls him,, it does not teach we are depraved." Wrong. God's Word makes it clear: Mark 7:21-23 "For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."

      Not only that, man is saved by grace IF man calls God. Until man does not call God, anybody reading this thread can see you have no idea what you're saying, since "one cannot trust in man" as said on my answer.

      If it's for the sake of argument, be my guest so you can get rebuked every time you feel the need to challenge me. Romans 2:4 does not challenge my answer in any way. Your question is about who should mankind trust: man or God. The word depravity speaks of the moral corruption of mankind which is not reliable to trust. Psalm 118:8 "It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man."
    • Cry me a River
      Moral depravity? How come you don,t trust his grace?
    • Cry me a River
      Morals cannot be corrupted., either you are moral or you are immoral,, which means NO morals, not corrupt morals. Tyvm
    • Cry me a River
      In fact moral nor immoral is a Bible term.. virtue however is,, because either you are virtuous or you are not virtuous.. I rest my case.
    • Cry me a River
      Furthermore depravity implies God is withholding from man.. takes away from his goodness AND mercy.
    • Cry me a River
      John 15:22 ..
    • Jenny's Gone On Vacation
      Quote: "Moral depravity? How come you don,t trust his grace?" Where did I say I did not trust His grace? Can you read well? I clearly said in my answer that man cannot be trusted. Another lie in your behalf to bear false testimonies. I will repeat it once more: only God can be trusted.
    • Jenny's Gone On Vacation
      Quote: "Morals cannot be corrupted.," Once again, learn it from God's Word: Mark 7:21-23 "For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man." Also, keep in mind that all men have fallen short of the glory of God.
    • Jenny's Gone On Vacation
      Quote: "In fact moral nor immoral is a Bible term.. virtue however is,, because either you are virtuous or you are not virtuous.. I rest my case." Actually, you never had a "case." 2 Peter 1:5 says man should make an effort to supplement their faith with virtue. Without effort, man becomes depraved.
    • Jenny's Gone On Vacation
      Quote: "Furthermore depravity implies God is withholding from man.. takes away from his goodness AND mercy." Wrong again. Romans 3:9 indicates "no one" is good. In John 15:22, the verse starts off with: "If I had not come" The word is IF. Now that grace has taken effect, not everybody accepts the grace of God. Yet again, man who has not known God falls in the category of depravity. How can you trust sinners rather than God???
    • Cry me a River
      You are assuming God made sinners moral and man corrupts them. Wrong. You have no case. Your comments reek of the smell of freshly cut grass,, which is by the way is depicted of man.. don,t you like the smell of tree blossoms?
    • Jenny's Gone On Vacation
      Quote: "You are assuming God made sinners moral and man corrupts them." Another lie on your behalf, cause I never said that. I have been letting you know, man is corrupted. God told Adam and Eve they would die the day they sinned. Romans 5:12 "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" Knowing all have sinned, you remain without a case. Once again, you are wrong for trusting in man. As for your other remarks, you can't sweet talk me. "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."
    • Cry me a River
      You,re BENT
    • Cry me a River
      And I do,not mean like a banana
    • Cry me a River
      Get your sh** together...again.
    • Jenny's Gone On Vacation
      Quote: "You,re BENT" You're the one who prefers to trust in man rather than God.
    • Jenny's Gone On Vacation
      Quote: "And I do,not mean like a banana" Irrelevant.
    • Jenny's Gone On Vacation
      As for your obscene language: folks, that's what happens when people don't have an argument. *Facepalm*
    • Cry me a River
      You have yet to prove that morals can be corrupt. You have not even tried. All you tried to do is refute me.
    • Cry me a River
      Scripture does prove man can be corrupt, however.
    • Cry me a River
      His breath can be corrupt and he can corrupt the earth,, but morals? No.
    • Cry me a River
      And he can corrupt his ways, and doings. Matthew 7:18 refutes your argument
    • Jenny's Gone On Vacation
      Quote: "You have yet to prove that morals can be corrupt." And: "Scripture does prove man can be corrupt, however." I did with Romans 5:12. Just as sin entered the world by one man, mankind became corrupted.
    • Jenny's Gone On Vacation
      Quote: "His breath can be corrupt and he can corrupt the earth,, but morals? No." God's breath can be corrupt? Wrong as always. With God, no corruption is found.
    • Jenny's Gone On Vacation
      Quote: "Matthew 7:18 refutes your argument" Not quite. You are not even close to my level of knowledge, since you are comparing apples to pears. There is none that does good. Romans 3:10 "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" You can't even trust church pastors over the Good Shepherd.
  • ANSWERBAGGERS: it is funny how some people claim to be Christian, yet they come at you with profanity when things don't go their way.
    • Cry me a River
      Personally speaking for my own s**t,, nothing profane about it. Yours?
    • Jenny's Gone On Vacation
      No errors in my vocabulary.
    • Cry me a River
      It,s poopy like you.
    • Jenny's Gone On Vacation
      To further educate you: the word "It,s" does not use a comma, but an apostrophe. It's for it is. And why do you keep changing your avatar and your username?
    • Cry me a River
      But you are nothing,, not it nor is
    • Cry me a River
      Why do you quote?
    • Jenny's Gone On Vacation
      Quote: "But you are nothing,, not it nor is" Actually, I am more than you can handle, especially on this thread as others have seen. Another *Facepalm*
    • Jenny's Gone On Vacation
      BTW, I quote users like yourself so they can specifically see their fallacies.
    • Cry me a River
      I don,t see my fallacies though. I see yours. You may be too much but that is because you are wicked, self righteous and proud.
    • Cry me a River
      You,re too much for Satan to swallow. He,s worried.
    • Jenny's Gone On Vacation
      Quote: "I don,t see my fallacies though. I see yours." Wrong as usual. You don't have an argument, you use obscene language, you can't read well, your grammatical skills need improvement and you change avatars and usernames to speak of fraudulent behavior. What fallacies will you find in me? (Fill in the blank) ________________________________________________.
    • Jenny's Gone On Vacation
      Quote: "because you are wicked," And Satan's worried? Satan is the father of all lies. The truth is: I have been letting you know to trust in God repeatedly to answer your question. I doubt if other AB'ers take your questions seriously with the low amount of users who answered your dishonest question.
    • Cry me a River
      You ARE low amount. That,s for certain.
    • Jenny's Gone On Vacation
      ??? I am certain you are asking yourself that, cause on a scale of 1-10, your verbal points amount to 0.
  • No. God came to me
  • God came and found me I wasn't looking for anything I guess he knew I needed him
  • I have come to know Jesus, but not by the way of the cross. The King James & Catholic Bible says that Jesus was put to death on a tree. Acts 5:30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. Acts 10:39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree. Acts 13:29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre. Gal. 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree. 1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. It is no wonder that the New Catholic Encyclopedia admits: The cross is found in both pre-Christian and non-Christian cultures, where it has largely a cosmic or natural signification. Why, then, have the churches chosen the cross as their most sacred symbol? Oxford University’s Companion Bible says: The evidence is that the Lord was put to death upon an upright stake, and not on two pieces of timber placed at any angle. Clearly, the churches have adopted a tradition that is not Biblical. In the two centuries after the death of Jesus it is doubtful that the Christians ever used the device of the cross.
  • I am the way, the truth and the light, no one comes to the father except by me John 14:6 There is no other way
  • There's no other way to God except through Jesus Christ that involves more than just intellectual belief that he died on the cross and was raised to life that involves taking the instructions that he gives you and actually doing them when Jesus says go to work and make disciple of people of all the nations get them baptized and teach them to do what I taught you to do. You better go to work if you claim that Jesus is your lord you better obey him
